Digital Futures: International Internet Day

The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) is home to the world's largest collection of working historic computers.Follow the development of computing: from the Turing-Welchman Bombe and Colossus of the 1940s through the large systems and mainframes of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, to the rise of personal computing and the rise of mobile computing and the internet.Recognised as one of England’s top 100 ‘irreplaceable places’, we welcome corporate and group visits, schools and individuals from all over the world.We are normally open Tuesday to Friday 10:30 -17:00, Saturday & Sunday 10:30 – 17:00. Please check tickets for actual opening days and times.TNMOC operates independently of Bletchley Park Trust, although we are located on the Bletchley Park Estate.To visit us, go through the main Bletchley Park entrance, through the barrier, walk or drive bearing left beyond the main car parks, to our separate entrance located at the top of the Park.Visit their website here for more information.https://www.tnmoc.org/Sat Nav users: please use the postcode for the railway station MK3 6DS on Sherwood Drive and then follow signs. The postcode for Bletchley Park will actually take you to an old entrance which is closed.

The National Museum of Computing

About This Event: In an increasingly digital world, more and more of daily life is accessed through the internet. In this interactive, educational day filled with explorative learning opportunities, The National Museum of Computing hopes to equip students with a conceptual understanding of where the need for networked communication originated and how the internet came to be. In addition, we aim to enable safe, legal, and effective use of this incredibly powerful tool. We will explore encryption methods as a method of keeping data secure online and consider the future of networked communication in the form of 5G. Participants will be supported in realising their full potential and encouraged to consider careers in Computing. Programme:Cyber Choices - SEROCU Cyber Protect teamThe Cyber Choices programme was created to help people make informed choices and to use their cyber skills for good!This is a national programme co-ordinated by the National Crime Agency and delivered by Cyber Choices teams within Regional Organised Crime Units and Local Police Force Cyber Teams.The aims of the programme are to:* Explaining the difference between legal and illegal cyber activity* Encouraging individuals to make informed choices in their use of technology* Increasing awareness of the Computer Misuse Act 1990* Promoting positive, legal cyber opportunitiesThe Interplanetary Internet: Reimagining computer networking for space - TNMOCComputer communication in space is hard work. Communicating over vast distances with significant time delays and error-prone conditions makes transferring data between orbiters, landers and ground stations slow and expensive. In this interactive workshop, we explore how new Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocols are being developed to reimagine an Interplanetary Internet capable of reliable and secure communication in support of future space missions.”Internet Origins - TNMOCThe end of WW2 saw the transition of computing machines being used for military purposes to scientific research. Traditional communication methods were inefficient and unreliable, limiting research development. Explore our unique collection of historic machines and the need for networked communication.5G: Mythbusters! - TNMOCThe shift to a 5G network is shrouded in mystery and surrounded by conspiracy theories. In this interactive workshop, we explore fact vs fiction and inform on the practical implications of this impending technological development.Prime numbers and encryption - TNMOCThis Maths-based session provides real-life applications for mathematical concepts (including; Lowest Common Multiples, Venn diagrams and factor trees) in present-day encryption methods used to keep your information safe online.Q﻿&amp;A session with Industry Experts from GoDeployTimings:09:30 - 15:30hrsLocation:The National Museum of Computing Block H, Bletchley Park, Bletchley, Milton Keynes MK3 6DS.
